Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 1474: Adaptive Lifting Index (aLI) for Real-Time Instrumental Biomechanical Risk Assessment: Concepts, Mathematics, and First Experimental Results
This study aims to illustrate the concepts and mathematics underlying aLI computation and compare aLI calculations in real-time using wearable sensors and force platforms with the LI estimated with the standard method used by ergonomists and occupational health and safety technicians. To reach this aim, 10 participants performed six lifting tasks under two risk conditions. The results show us that the aLI value rapidly converges towards the reference value in all tasks, suggesting a promising use of adaptive algorithms and instrumental tools for biomechanical risk assessment.

Cadmium negatively affects the growth and physiological status and the alleviation effects by exogenous selenium in silage maize (Zea mays L.)
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Feb 23. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32557-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIncreasing soil cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious threat to human food health and safety. In order to reduce Cd uptake and Cd toxicity in silage maize, hydroponic tests were conducted to investigate the effect of exogenous Cd on the toxicity of silage maize in this study. In the study, a combination of Cd (5, 20, 50, 80, and 10 μM) treatments was applied in a hydroponic system. With increasing Cd concentration, Cd significantly inhibited the total root length (RL), root surface area (SA), root volume (RV), root ti...

Clinician-Court Agreement and Predictors of Court Adjudication in Civil Incompetency Examinations
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the rate of agreement between clinicians and judges in civil incompetency adjudications in incompetency and restoration cases and to determine predictors of court adjudications with clinician recommendation as a predictor. Court files were obtained for court-ordered requests (N = 345) for incompetency evaluations from one urban county. Court files containing the legal opinion were linked with clinical files containing demographic variables such as age, education, sex, race, residency status, relationship status, and cognitive and functional testing. The latter were th e ...

The EMPOWER Program: A History and Guide for Increasing Diversity using Integrated Research and Education
We present here a historical perspective to offer a guide for building programs and relationships with underserved schools to help overcome limiting factors that have plagued certain public school systems. With the proper training and mentorship, the untapped workforce present within these schools will be empowered to understand and address current and emerging environmental health and safety threats. Through this transformative 8-week high school research program, we will develop well-prepared, ethical researchers committed to scientific inquiry, intensive fieldwork, and collaborative problem-solving to address environmen...
